But then I suppose the question is, do you want men approaching you and chatting you up? Is that appropriate? Surely they should engage you in civil and equal conversation, appreciating you as a person, not a woman?

And aren't you married?!?

Lol jumping in...Personally, I objectified him as much as an man would a woman: cute, but not my type. But I like talking about le music. And now that I'm single, you don't need to trip me off Waterloo anymore, btw.

Irony not lost. But I do think men and women can have conversations without it being a pickup. We parted without exchanging any info or requesting. Otherwise, I am a conversational whore :/

It's true, sometimes they even (shock horror) maintain friendships without the man trying to fuck them.

By the way, I was asking in Cassie was married there, not you, although you were very keen to emphasise your new singleness. It's very flattering, but I'm taken I'm afraid... You sleaze.

Hahahaha a) I know, that's why I said I was jumping in! As b) all of my hopes dashed upon the pavement. Obscure forum romance is not to be. Seriously though, I just... I didn't want to get scolded for talking to strangers again. I'm so easy.............to talk to

Pete please tell me that is a joke. Yes I'm married(for now). Goodness that caused a roar, didn't mean too. A cheeky joke, not intended to support infidelity, there's enough of that going around.
You are the one that went there anyway, suggesting I wear less clothes. Behave.

Sitting at the departure gate in Luxembourg last week I decided to ask the woman sitting opposite about the band on her shirt "The Flatliners". Turned out she'd been at the same gig & in the same hotel & we'd both just paid an eyewatering amount for a taxi to the airport. [The day before I'd done bus to Lux centre for E2 & train to the gig for E2. The line was up from one stop before the gig but the replacement bus stopped right outside.] She was very good company on the ride into central London. May never see her again. Quite possibly will.

I find I make friends on the 01:05 from Waterloo if I happen to be on my own. (If not on my own my time is spent making sure my friend stays on until his stop )

Some friends and I were booked into seats with a poor young guy who seemed a little timid (on a long trip to Cardiff) we shared our vodka with him and now we are all friends and catch up on Twitter all the time.

I work in retail sales though so I find it really easy to strike up conversations. Same with flirting/chatting up, I do it all the time despite being attached a bit. I cant help it plus it helps in my job as well.
